Note: Be sure to request one of the hotel's iPads at check-in, as these are a wellspring of information, and not just about the hotel's facilities, but also about the city and some fun off-the-beaten-path sights.
Time Out "Spread over several charming canal houses at the epicentre of the elegant canal district, this private hotel has been run by the same family for decades." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Hotel Estheréa takes its beauty seriously – its prettiness gets plenty of attention from guests, with florals – live and textile – dominating, but not overwhelming, the decor." Full review

"Hotel Estherea takes a maximalist approach to its interior design, and treads the fine line between plush extravagance and gaudiness with aplomb." Full review

Michelin Guide "It is just perfect for art loving Amsterdam!"
Concierge "The Ambassade isn't the most stylishly renovated of Amsterdam's Golden Age hotels, but the privately-owned landmark beats out the competition."
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"Literary luminaries, business travellers and well-heeled tourists alike love this tastefully appointed hotel, spread over 10 canal houses." Full review

"Ambassade Hotel's lovely brick front is as inviting as its location in the picturesque (and convenient) Canal Ring neighorhood, across from a boat-lined canal." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With its long literary associations, this is the bookworm’s choice of lodgings: the library is lined with signed copies from the numerous authors who have stayed here."
Rough Guide "Elegant canalside hotel made up of ten seventeenth-century houses with smartly furnished lounges, a well-stocked library and comfortable en-suite rooms."
Star Service "On a beautiful canal in a residential neighborhood in the heart of Amsterdam, this exceedingly popular traditional hotel blends old school B&B style with a cozy residential feel." Full review

If possible, avoid the smaller Classic rooms and book a Deluxe room with a roomier sitting area and more enviable canalside location.
Time Out "This literary hotel arranged across ten canal houses is the place to bump in to your favourite author." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "If more proof were needed of the Ambassade's – comprised of 10 18th century buildings -- significance, its central location on the Herengracht is a UNESCO World Heritage site." Full review

Choose canal-side rooms in this quiet part of town.
Gayot "Charming accommodations (with a notable library) in a classic canal setting."
